00:56 beyond reason, beyond all logic
01:00 that brought you right to this very spot
01:04 at the exact same time that I showed up at this very spot.
01:10 - Selma Hayek and I in this movie,
01:11 on our first date we make a baby
01:14 and on our second date we get married
01:16 and on our third date we move in together
01:18 and on our fourth date we start to kind of
01:20 get to know each other.
01:21 - Gotcha.
01:22 - It's kind of a backwards deal.
01:24 - He's a guy that just wants to do the right thing
01:27 but is thrown in all sorts of bizarre situations
01:31 that he doesn't know what to do
01:32 and he can't figure it out.
01:34 - I've been looking all over for you.
01:36 I would have called you but you disappeared on me.
01:39 - She really made me laugh the first couple of times we met
01:42 and she's not easy to make laugh
01:44 so it's kind of a struggle every day
01:45 to try to crack her up which was great.
01:47 - Do a screen test and stuff,
01:49 that's where we got to know each other
01:51 a little bit and I always thought it was gonna work out.

01:57 there is a special bond that happens
01:59 when you share dreams with someone

02:03 She says last year she was very moved
02:05 when Matthew shared on Instagram
02:06 how much he loved Fool's Russian
02:08 and how he thought that that film we did together
02:10 was probably his best movie.
02:12 - Isabelle, what can I do?
02:14 - I'll deal with it.
02:17 - No, really, I wanna help.
02:19 - Throughout the years,
02:20 he and I found ourselves reminiscing
02:22 about that meaningful time in our lives
02:24 with a deep sense of nostalgia and gratitude.
02:26 - Today in one of the takes, in his best take,
02:29 I couldn't hold it and I laughed in the middle of it.
02:32 He actually was excited that I was correct.
02:34 I couldn't hold it, he was just,
02:36 he scared me, he surprised me so much
02:38 that I couldn't hold it, I almost screamed.
02:42 - Selma concludes her tribute to Matthew
02:44 saying she will continue to cherish your silliness,
02:47 your perseverance and your lovely heart.
02:49 Farewell, sweet Matthew, we will never forget you.
